Marcin Gortat hit just 3-of-11 shots for six points, 11 rebounds, a steal, a block and five fouls on Tuesday.

Tonight broke a three-game double-double streak for Gortat and he scored in single digits for the first time since Nov. 11. Gortat's poor shooting had a lot to do with it, but he's fine. He should bounce back against the Nuggets on Thursday. Dec 6 - 9:48 PM

Marcin Gortat went off for 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting with 18 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals before fouling out in 42 minutes against the Spurs on Friday.

He's averaging a career-high 35.2 minutes per game and this was the second time this season that he played 42 minutes. Ian Mahinmi (knee) can't stay healthy and coach Scott Brooks doesn't trust his bench at all, but Gortat's owners aren't complaining. He's flirting with top-50 value in standard leagues and his owners just have to hope that the Wizards can remain relevant in the East. Dec 3 - 1:58 AM

Marcin Gortat scored 10 points with 10 rebounds, one assist and one turnover in 33 minutes against the Spurs on Saturday.

Ian Mahinmi made his season debut for the Wizards tonight. After Mahinmi signed in July, there were some rumors on Gortat, but they obviously never came to fruition. Gortat's minutes should be just fine and hang around 30. Although, the Wizards do need to win some games with their 5-10 record. Gortat should post mid-round value as long as he's active on the Wizards. Nov 26 - 9:32 PM

Marcin Gortat had his best game of the season on Saturday against Hassan Whiteside and the Heat, racking up 10 points, a season-high 16 rebounds and a season-high five blocks.

He's double-doubled in three of this last four games, has hit double digits in rebounds in all but two games this season, and double digits in scoring in all but three games. He came into this game fifth in the league in rebounding and after his five blocks, both of those averages got a boost tonight. He's rolling. Nov 19 - 10:24 PM

Ian Mahinmi is expected to get another MRI on his right knee on Friday.

Mahinmi required surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee before the season tipped and then developed soreness, believed to be tendinitis, in the right knee after playing just 14 minutes vs. the San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 26. As a result, Marcin Gortat, at 32 the oldest player on the roster, has had to play a career-high 35.4 minutes per game for Washington. Daniel Ochefu, a rookie who signed as a free agent, hasn't been deemed ready by coach Scott Brooks to log any meaningful minutes. Mahinmi should not be owned in standard leagues.
